old 3” Rochester nickel silver reel
I love it - how does she sound / rotate ?

Another Speyco reel has made its way into to my arsenal.... and yes, you guessed it - it sounds amazing.
So fun to adjust the click yourself... that click has a unique and functional design.
(since this photo I have reduced it from three to just two clicking points.. but plan to do some bending)
neat reel / Charlie's first one - https://www.speypages.com/threads/a-spe ... co.404468/

Rotates without wobble BUT I had to put a spring washer under the holding screw. Very light click but enuff to stop overrun.

Re: Got a new reel lately?
#1586Time to bring this topic back to life. Got a new reel that I absolutely love. If you are not familiar with the reels that Mauro Tosti makes, I'll share the one he made for me. This 3" version is exactly what I hoped it would be. Check out Hermit Valley Reels on Facebook and you'll be amazed at some of the incredible reels that have been made.

#1590Jim that's a neat looking reel - maybe you still have it. Possibly took it apart.SpringCreek wrote: ↑10/04/09 07:12New in the house this past week.

What do the guts look like to this reel ? What kind of drag is there ?
Any shot with the spool removed ?

#1598Thanks Chris
Salmo, i wouldn't call this a custom offering......but rather is from an early Era when Stan was still figuring out what his "normal" models and finish combinations would be. Based on history, this color combo didn't make the cut.
